SQL Server Jobs Change Backup Location

I have created several jobs in mssql 2005. One is a backup databases job and the other is cleanup old databases. Currently they backup to a local drive E.

Can i back them up to a shared drive on another computer? If so do I have to create anew job and delete the old one or is there a place I can go to edit the location of where my backups are currently going and point them to the new location.

If it is possible to make backups on a shared drive, do I need to create a mapped drive to do this backup or can I do it with just a network path typed in?

So far as I recall the drive has to be local and mapping to a network location does not work either. You will need to backup locally and then have a script run that moves the backup jobs to a network drive.

No my friend, I'm currently using network paths to backup my databases and they work as expected, the thing is to assign the right permissions on the shared folder to allow SQL Server Engine to write its backup.
